Angelo Moore aka Dr. Madd Vibe and members of Fishbone performed in the poetry tent with the Beastie Boys at the Shoreline show in CA. Poet Thomas R. Peters, Jr. read poetry on all three stages at the Denver show, where poet Jason Stoneking also performed a poem on the main stage. Poet Tracie Morris, among others, was hired by Lollapalooza to perform in the spoken word tent for the New York to Texas leg of the tour. The poetry tent was actually called "The Revival Tent" at the time. The Flaming Lips performed in The Revival Tent in Denver, going so far as dragging an upright acoustic piano across 100 yards of grass to do so.
Several of the artists, including Green Day and Cypress Hill, skipped at least one Lollapalooza date to appear at Woodstock '94 instead. Green Day was removed from stage at the performance at Walnut Creek Amphitheater in Raleigh, NC, for encouraging general admission audience members to rush the stage and overwhelm the reserved seating area. Nirvana was scheduled to headline but officially pulled out on April 4, 1994, amid rumors that the band was on the verge of breaking up. Frontman Kurt Cobain was found dead in Seattle, Washington four days later on April 8, 1994. Cobain's widow, Courtney Love, made surprise guest appearances at several shows, speaking to the crowds about the loss. In New York, she greeted the crowd with "Hello, Generation Ecch!", a reference to Jason Cohen and Michael Krugman's Generation Ecch!: the Backlash Starts Here (Prentice Hall & IBD, 1994). Having met the authors at a party, she deemed the book hilarious, saying, "Kurt would have loved the mean stuff."
